Mind Your Metals (especially when modeling the collapse of super massive stars into black holes)
Today we’re talking about metals meddling in collapsing super massive star models!
Equitable access in an increasingly computational world
As physics/astronomy become increasingly computational, training and infrastructure have struggled to keep pace. In today’s bite we discuss these issues and a new company, Camber, working to streamline research and democratize high performance computing!
You (Might) Spin Me Right Round (The Cluster Center)
Today’s authors spin up simulations that could explain the unique radio structure in NGC 6166.
Nuthin’ but a ‘AGN’ Thang
In today’s paper, the authors use simulations to investigate how intermediate mass black holes might form in AGN disks.
It’s An Eyeball Summer, and Other Weird K/M-Dwarf Habitable Climate Tales
Today’s authors compare small K-dwarf and M-dwarf planetary climates!
Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’
In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
